Glucosamine is very interesting because, theoretically, it could worsen the glaucoma because it is found in high concentration in the eye drain in abnormal eyes with glaucoma. Yet, it might lower eye pressure for reasons that are not well known. No good proof, just yet! Remember, correlation does not mean one thing causes another, only that the two are linked somehow. Check out the research on circumen, from the tumeric root, and glaucoma. That product does show potential.
but the problem suggested with glucosamine is not glucosamine but chondroitin found in glaucomanous eyes in excess. These are related sustances but are utilized differently. Glucosamine does not mean you are loading up on chondroitin. The chondroitin molecules is split up and re-organized in the bloodstream. Glucosamine does not have this mode of action. So, glucosamine could be a positive glaucoma treatment, chondroitin maybe not.
